The KP1 is a great option for your size, but maybe look into the 506 Hellfire as well. It may be a little more versatile in a variety of conditions, from light to heavy in wind and surf. It comes with a 5 fin setup which gives you the option to go a thruster or quad setup. The KP1 thruster is a powerful and traditional surf shape which you will be happy with as well. I would say the Hellfire is ultimately a solid option as a lot of people are stoked on the versatility.

I don't think so...I think you would be fine on the 506...def the 511. Hellfire is a great board...go onto the Firewire surfboard site and plug in your weight/skill level into the volume calc and check it out!
